(taken from 31 Days of Prayer – Ruth Myers) Have you ever wondered why God chose to link His actions with our praying? Why did He decide that our prayers would cause Him to accomplish certain things or expand what He does? And that by not praying we would limit Him? Could He not carry…
When we sense we are living in obedience to God it is easier to pray with confidence and come boldly to the throne of grace. But what should I do when I have sincerely confessed all known sin (Prayer Reminder part 1) and still have a vague sense of guilt robbing me of confidence in…
When we sense we are living in obedience to God it is easier to pray with confidence and come boldly to the throne of grace. But what should I do when I don’t have this sense? The first thing to do is take inventory and ask God if there is unconfessed sin. Remember sin is…
Prov. 3:13,15b How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding…nothing you desire compares with her. Prov. 4:7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
